LOL! Well put Meli!!!
We have to remember that
HR initiatives need to fit the work culture and the wider culture of the country a business is operating in.
I know of a country that provides 1 hour paid lunch breaks to all employees because eating is a social activity for that culture. People get connected more within the organisation because they have more time to chat, relax, and eat in the middle of the day. Some people choose to spend the other half hour taking a nap. People are apparently more engaged and productive...although I haven't seen the stats
Like in Japan, long-working hours is part of that culture as well.
